Nearest Airport
Berinag is a small hill town in the Pithoragarh district, closely linked to neighboring Chaukori by geography and a shared tea-growing history, sitting around 10–12 km apart. Its own stretch of tea gardens and viewpoints offer a similar sweep of the Panchachuli and surrounding Himalayan ranges, though Berinag has developed a slightly more established local market and town center compared to Chaukori's quieter estate-village feel. The town suits travelers extending a Chaukori visit or looking for a base with slightly more local infrastructure while still staying well off the mainstream Kumaon circuit. Berinag's name is locally associated with a particular variety of tea, and walking through the working estates remains the town's main draw alongside its mountain views. Its position deep in Pithoragarh district keeps visitor numbers modest, and most travelers who make it out this far combine Berinag with Chaukori and nearby Kanda or Dharamghar villages as part of a slower, multi-stop Kumaon itinerary.
